Sue,

What an interesting question. Thanks. I did some research and the electric code comes into play over a bathtub. Since they are electric near water, any ligh can’t be located within 8-foot area above the tub. The illustrations I found made it look like it has to be 8 feet above the top of the tub.

You left out how high the ceilings are and I can’t tell if the tub area is 85 inches square? If so, 26 inches around will definitely not look to small. Feel free to reply back with these dimensions.

I hope this guideline helps. It sounds like a beautiful idea.

Andrea

I want to put a chandelier over a free standing tub. The width of the space is 85 inches where the tub will be sitting. I have foot ceilings. The room extends out from this space. The chandelier I like is 26 inches wide by 22.5 height and I would add a 3-6 inch extension. Do you think this will work?

I tend to have task and ambient light, but forget the accent light which really elevates the look. You have such informative posts!
